RUNWAY RUNDOWN: Paul Smith Women Fall 2009 To put it very bluntly, I don’t take bright colors very seriously. A strange notion, I know, but doesn’t it always seem that the girls starving for attention or fooling their way through life wear the hot pink and lime green? Well, thanks to Paul Smith Women’s Fall 2009 collection, I have a newfound appreciation for the bright and bold. Tastefully intertwined in a collection of classic English khaki trenches, a variety of houndstooth tweed pieces, voluminous floral dresses, floody knickers and horizontal striped sweaters, Smith added eccentric splashes of bright color to spice up a timeless stock of garments. Though Smith claims his collection was designed sans an inspiration, I find his vision very obvious: standing out while fitting in.
